I am progressing slowly on the north coast and it is only getting better and better...I am looking for somethis close to airports but far from resorts and cities...samana and las terrenas are great and the real jewels are on the outskirts of these towns...all realestate agencies are gringo pricing...you need a dominican contact, my taxi driver finds me much better deals on property than any agest...then you need to find some good lawyers and agents over expats I found some dude on youtube who does reviews with other expats on agents and stuff...never buy what you see online or in an agency unless you want to throw money out of the window...

Im here in DR for the next 2 months and I still have several islands to visit after that...st thomas and grenadines, aruba, curacao and guadaloupe are next because I have easy direct flights...
